Episode 3 of the Montezuma Campaign leeds us to confront the Spanish invadors and their allies, who a threatening the Tabasco. This mission is considered the hardest of the campaign if you want to save Tabasco, especially because there's quite the distance to overcome before you can help your ally. Challange accepted, also I want the achievement you get for saving Tabasco, so I'll be telling you how I succeeded on the hardest difficulty. Apart from that, this mission is loosely based on the Battles of Centla (March 14, 1519) and Nautla (October 1519), during the Spanish conquest of Mexico and there are two ways of finishing off the Spanish: Either by conquest or by taming their horses. Unfortunately, because of my ungrateful allies, I was forced to take the difficult path,

[ENG] Campaign: Montezuma #3 Quetzalcoatl

In Episode 4 of the Montezuma Campaign, it is our duty to retake Tenochtitlan from the Spanish forces under Hernan Cortez, who hast taken emperor Montezuma II as a hostage and uses him as a puppet to control the city of Tenochtitlan. This beautiful city was built on an artificial island on the west side of lake Texcoco and showcases this early campaign in all it's beauty. We'll first have to gather our forces, we get to kill an enemy priest with jaguars and there's also an easter egg involiving Ornlu the Wolf to discover, but first and foremost we need to drive out the Spanish from our beloved home. I hope you're enjoying this series!

[ENG] Campaign: Montezuma #4 La Noche Triste

This is the complete Interview with Chris (IamChris), a legend of AoE II eSport history. Chris war once considered the best player in the world and has witnessed pretty much every phase of the development of competitive Age of Empires II. The main focus of our conversation revolves around the Hun Wars and Chris shares both his knowledge and memories about this topic. But before we got to that subject, we also talked about what Age of Empires II was like back in the day and specifically, how Chris percieved the pro scene and how his career as a pro player has developed. I had a great time talking to Chris and hope you'll enjoy our conversation!

[ENG] Interview: Chris

The Hun Wars were played between 2000 and approximately 2016 and are by far the most frequently played matchup in Age of Empires II history – to this day. In this documentary, I attempt to recount how the Hun Wars came about, how they changed over the decades, and what led to the end of the Hun Wars just under 10 years ago. To do this, I brought two veterans of the game, Andre (Slap) and Chris (IamChris), in front of the microphone, who told me in detail about the good old days of the Hun Wars. It quickly became clear that my image of these mirror matches was far too one-dimensional. I hope you enjoy this nostalgic trip into the past of Age of Empires II eSports.
